THE SLEEVE
FULLY LAMINATED GATEOLD SLEEVE IN STUNNING NEAR MINT CONDITION. THE ONLY BLEMISHES TO THE FRONT SURFACE ARE A COUPLE OF REALLY TINY LAMINATE LINES NEAR THE SPINE, THERE ARE NO CREASES, FOLDS, BENDS, OR ANY RING WEAR AT ALL. THE VERY WIDE SPINE REMAINS UNCRUSHED , JUST A LIGHT CREASE LINE ALONG A LITTLE PORTION, HOWEVER THE WRITING IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE REAR SURFACE IS AGAIN IMMACULATE. THE INNER GATEFOLD IS UNWORN AND PRISTINE.
THIS IS A GREAT LOOKING SLEEVE
THE INNER POLY LINED BAG IS IN TOP CONDITION
THE RECORD
VERY VERY HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL, THAT HAS RETAINED VIRTUALLY ALL OF ITS ORIGINAL SHEEN. THE LABELS ARE EXCEPTIONAL SHOWING NO SPINDLE HOLE WTEAR, AND ONLY A SMALL CLUSTER OF LIGHT SPIDER LINES AROUND THE HOLE. IS SUPECT THE RECORD HAS HAD FEWER THAN 12 PLAYS LIFETIME
THERE ARE A COUPLE OF REALLY LIGHT HANDLING MARKS WHEN THE LP IS OFFERED UP TO THE LIGHT, AND SOME WISPY HAIRLINES UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION.
WHISLT PLAYING THE RECORD THERE IS SOME VERY VERY GENTLE STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND HEARD IN THE QUITER SPOTS, BUT THIS IN NO WAY IMPACTS ON THE SUPERB CLARITY OF THE SOUND GENERATED BY THE BAND, AND EACH NOTE IS HEARD FULLY AND WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION. THERE IS ALSO A TWO ROTATIONAL BIT OF HISS IN ONE SPOT ON THE LAST OR SECOND LAST TRACK, BUT I CAN SEE NOTHING ON THE VINYL THAT WOULD CAUSE THIS SPLIT SECOND ANNOYANCE, BUT HAVING HAD MANY PINK ISLAND ALBUMS OVER THE YEARS, I FULLY REALISE THAT THEY HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH ELIMINATING ALL NOISE FROM THEIR VINYL.
THE LP GRADES A VERY HEALTH EXCELLENT
